Palm Oil Labor Abuse, Slavery & Rape Linked To Top Brands Including L'Oreal & Unilever

On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we’re rebroadcasting our conversation about two recent AP investigations exposing widespread labor and human rights abuses.
These abuses include rape, slavery, and child labor, in the palm oil industry, which is worth a whopping $65 billion. The investigation found that millions of men, women and children from some of the poorest corners of Asia are exploited and forced into working on palm oil plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia. Women workers make just $2 a day with no job protections or healthcare.
Palm oil is in food and personal care products from some of the world's largest brands, including L'Oreal, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, and Colgate, which owns Tom's of Maine. What will it take to protect these workers and regulate this industry?
